...band was brought back for an encore of "Wild Man Moore," an obscure Ellington tune from the Paris Blues Suite which featured tenor Andy Farber in a Paul Gonsalves feature. Marsalis ended the tune by leading the trumpet section offstage followed by trombones and saxes in a second-line march. A five-minute standing ovation brought Marsalis back with pianist Eric Reed for a rendition of Marsalis's best composition of the evening, the ballad "Spanish Yaounde."

A company spokeswoman points out that Escada did not always receive its best editorial coverage in publications where it most heavily advertised. Still, Escada clearly...
...hope that did not happen in this case and will not happen in the future. The FBI ought to be, and is, committed to defending the Constitution.

If Oklahoma City is a trumpet announcing a long siege, we all need, as they say in the Navy, to take an even strain...
